Sick (fit) notes
If you’ve been off sick for more than 7 days
- submit a new online request by clicking on the GREEN contact us online banner on our website front page and select the top option (I have an admin query) then as you go through select the second option (fit/sick note) and fill out the form required. Alternatively you can visit the surgery and fill in a paper form.
If you’ve been off sick for 7 days or less
If you’re off work sick for 7 days or less, your employer should not ask for medical evidence that you’ve been ill. Instead, they can ask you to confirm that you’ve been ill. You can do this by filling in a form yourself when you return to work. We call this self-certification.
